[Silence]
[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]
[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Pulsing Bass, Organ Swell, Muted Guitar Chops, Rising Synth Filter]
[Minimal Beat, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
This ain’t rock ‘n’ roll
(No this ain’t no stroll)
Get ready to ride
(… this is genocide)
[Instrumental]
[Guitar Solo]
[Organ Stabs, Driving Bass, Snare March]
[Refrain]
This ain’t rock ‘n’ roll
(… this is genocide)
Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide
(Gonna take its toll)
[Verse 1]
The volume is rising
The warning is clear
A shadow is forming
That nobody hears
The stage lights are fading
The curtain comes down
A world out of balance
Is spinning around
[Pre-Chorus]
No encore waiting
No final show
No easy answer
No place to go
The rhythm is changing
The tempo is fast
A future is calling
From a dangerous past
[Chorus]
This ain’t rock ‘n’ roll
This ain’t a game
This ain’t a story
With someone to blame
The fire keeps burning
The pressure will grow
A force we created
We struggle to slow
This ain’t rock ‘n’ roll
(… this is genocide)
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo: Distorted Lead, Sustained Notes, Rising Feedback]
[Organ Stabs, Driving Bass, Heavy Drums, Synth Atmosphere]
[Verse 2]
The oceans are rising
The ice disappears
The cost of denial
Becomes crystal clear
The signs keep repeating
The patterns align
The edge is approaching
… runnin’ out of time
[Bridge]
No standing still
No turning back
The system responds
To the attack
A chain reaction
A runaway tide
The consequences
We cannot divide
[Final Refrain]
This ain’t rock ‘n’ roll
(… this is genocide)
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
The sound of the future
The end of the ride
The choices we make
Will determine the tide
This ain’t rock ‘n’ roll
(No this ain’t no stroll)
Get ready to ride
(… this is genocide)
[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Slow Crushing Guitar Riff, Deep Bass Drone, Echoing Organ Chords, Distant Synth Noise, Cymbal Fade]
This ain’t…
(Rock ‘n’ roll…)
This is…
(“Pay the toll…”)
